It caught everyone by surprise – Angel Reese not playing in Unrivaled! Because, if you remember last season, she brought eyes to the 3×3 league in more ways than one. So, her absence this time definitely made fans raise an eyebrow or two. But then again, while it is expected to be a big hit for the new league, from Reese’s side, it made sense. She’s already had one packed offseason. And as we already guessed, it’s not stopping anytime soon.

We know that, initially, Reebok was supposed to debut Angel’s shoe sometime in early 2026. But, plans changed real quick once she landed that NBA2K26 WNBA cover. I mean, who wouldn’t want to capitalize on that? So, they pushed things up and the Sky star ended up rocking her own shoe right on the NBA2K cover. 

A week later, she showed off the “Mebounds” colorway at the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis. Then came more colorways: “Diamond Dust” and “Receipts Ready.” And just when everyone thought that was it, the “Charm City” drop hit. Mind you, the first three sold out in minutes, and the fourth one was gone from Reebok’s site the very next day.

Reebok just teased the “King Tiago Reese” colorway on Instagram with some jaw-dropping shots of Angel looking every bit the star she is.  The kicks hit stores on November 14th, and we just know that they won’t stay on the shelves for long.

And as has been the case, every one of her colorways has a story behind it, straight from her heart. The “Charm City” edition paid homage to her Baltimore roots and the community that shaped her. Well, this new drop might just be her sweetest yet. Inspired by her teacup Yorkie, Tiago, the sneakers come in soft beige and tan tones. “I knew I had to create a colorway in honor of my baby boy,” Angel said. She even calls him her “dream pup.”

This reveal comes amid AR juggling a crazy offseason. A Victoria’s Secret runway debut (first ever for a WNBA star!), her new podcast Unapologetically Angel with an exciting guest lineup, and, yes, making headlines with trademarking her own name. And while we’re here talking about Angel Reese 1s, she’s already back on the runway again.

Angel Reese stuns with a blonde makeover 

Reese has always been the fashion girl. She’s made it her mission to prove that women in sports can absolutely do both. Her VS debut proved she surely can, and she had everyone even more excited when she revealed on her podcast that she plans to take on more such projects in the future.

Well, she is now keeping the fashion momentum alive with another show-stopping moment at the 2025 CFDA Awards. The annual event, known for honoring the brightest talents in American fashion, drew its usual star-studded crowd, but Reese still managed to turn every head. 

The LSU alum stepped out in an all-black ensemble that perfectly balanced glamour and edge. She rocked a strapless black sequin bustier top paired with a floor-length satin cape and sheer tights. 

But it wasn’t just the fit that had fans talking; it was the hair. 

Reese debuted a chic blonde lob that instantly became the highlight of her look. It’s not her first time going blonde for the CFDAs, though. Last year, she sported long golden blonde locks and a stunning Jonathan Simkhai gown, but this shorter, sleeker version added a bolder twist.

Clearly, Angel is in her experimenting era. And we love every bit of it.
